Twenty Jokes And Puns About Bartenders

Bartenders are known by many titles: barkeep, barman, barmaid, tapster, or mixologist. Their responsibilities are much more than making and serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks behind the bar. They include:

  • Welcoming customers providing drink menus
  • Taking orders from the waiter staff or customers
  • Making sure patrons are the legal drinking age
  • Diplomatically handling customers who’ve had too much to drink
  • Preparing checks and processing payments
  • Monitoring and maintaining the bar inventory
  • Making sure the bar glasses, bar equipment, and working areas are clean

In terms of soft skills, bartenders must be effective communicators, composed, friendly, and organized. What impresses me the most about bartenders is their ability to remember the vast number of available drinks, in addition, to remembering customers’ names and their favorite drinks.
